About this listen

A groundbreaking method to master all types of diabetes by reversing insulin resistance.

Current medical wisdom advises that anyone suffering from diabetes or prediabetes should eat a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet. But in this revolutionary audiobook, Cyrus Khambatta, PhD, and Robby Barbaro, MPH, rely on a century of research to show that advice is misguided. While it may improve short-term blood glucose control, such a diet also increases the long-term risk for chronic diseases like cancer, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, chronic kidney disease, and fatty liver disease.

The revolutionary solution is to eat a low-fat plant-based whole-food diet, the most powerful way to reverse insulin resistance in all types of diabetes: type 1, type 1.5, type 2, prediabetes, and gestational diabetes.

As the creators of the extraordinary and effective Mastering Diabetes Method, Khambatta and Barbaro lay out a step-by-step plan proven to reverse insulin resistance - the root cause of blood glucose variability - while improving overall health and maximizing life expectancy. Armed with more than 800 scientific references and drawing on more than 36 years of personal experience living with type 1 diabetes themselves, the authors show how to eat large quantities of carbohydrate-rich whole foods like bananas, potatoes, and quinoa while decreasing blood glucose, oral medication, and insulin requirements. They also provide life-changing advice on intermittent fasting and daily exercise and offer tips on eating in tricky situations, such as restaurant meals and family dinners. Perhaps best of all: On the Mastering Diabetes Method, you will never go hungry.

With more than 30 delicious, filling, and nutrient-dense recipes and backed by cutting-edge nutritional science, Mastering Diabetes will help you maximize your insulin sensitivity, attain your ideal body weight, improve your digestive health, gain energy, live an active life, and feel the best you've felt in years.

Includes a PDF of recipes and illustrations.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

What the critics say

"This powerful book will revolutionize the way you think about diabetes. Written by two guys at the forefront of the diabetes revolution who both have type 1 diabetes, it creates a roadmap to understand the physiology of insulin resistance and give you the tools to reverse it using powerful scientific evidence." (Michael Greger, MD, FACC, New York Times best-selling author of How Not to Diet)

"A whole food, plant based diet is the secret to longevity on every continent in the world. Now, this amazing book teaches us you don’t have to wait until old-age to reap the benefits. The Mastering Diabetes method will help you reverse insulin resistance, lose weight, and feel fantastic. Highly recommended!" (Dan Buettner, New York Times best-selling author of The Blue Zones Solution)

"We’re seeing more and more that a plant-based diet is the way to go for maximum health. But this book is a game-changer. Cyrus and Robby make a compelling case that a plant based, whole food diet is the key to reversing insulin resistance. That’s a message that is great for all of us and for the planet too. Love it!" (Kathy Freston, New York Times best-selling author of Quantum Wellness)

An excellent audiobook!

I've tried the methods in this book. They WORK! Keep the fat down and a big fruit bowl for breakfast is NO PROBLEM!

Awesome!!

This is the real deal. Approachable but still clear about the science. They GET the importance of laying a clear plan out but that everyone’s experience will be different and they really explain how to trouble shoot and make good decisions for YOU.
Anyone with any form of diabetes, or who wants to help someone in their life with diabetes, should be going through this book cover to cover.

Reduced A1C from 12 to 6 in 3 months after reading this with zero medication

After a sudden diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes with an A1C of over 12, Doctors answer was drugs for life. I knew there had to be a different path. Binge reading this in 24 hours and 1 weekend of implementation, finger sticks monitoring was in normal range with a shocking A1C after 3 months. Thank you Cyrus and Robbie.

Fantastic Book on how to reverse disease

As a nutritionist, I recommend this book as the first resource for someone to read to really understand this disease. I follow their process in dealing with anyone leaning into diabetes all the way to those who have had it for years.

Great idea but ...

I get that the authors wanted the listeners to know that their program is supported by clinical studies but this audiobook is just tedious. I gave up listening to this audiobook about half way through. Never thought I would come across an audiobook that was like watching paint dry but this one was it.

Didn’t like it

Found this book hard to get into, and find it hard to believe that you can cure / reverse diabetes by eating only fruit aka sugar

Too much sales talk and not enough information

Too much sales talk and not enough information about how to improve your condition with Diabetes. I couldn't continue listening after chapter 2.
